Nice! :love:

And it looks like it really is a Final Edition car too.

Not sure about the red with (beige/Twist?) interior combo. Its one occasion where I would favour black inside. I like them individually but not together. Perhaps Tintin might buy it and install his red interior?

The_Laird 2nd June 2015 09:03 AM

It's a silver grey interior, the same as mine. I love it. If I had a spare £9K I'd be off to Norwich!

That IS nice!

Looks to be a genuine red S8 too, not some vinyl wrapped imitation.

HPsauce 2nd June 2015 09:08 AM

It's nearer from here, race you!

The_Laird 2nd June 2015 09:13 AM

My only concern would be that it's been unused for a long time and there's no mention of cam belt or gearbox (though the ad is a little brief).

Mine was little used before I bought it and I had a host of teething troubles with it once it was bought into 'daily driver' service. My wife likes red cars..... I wonder.....

....but then again, could I bear to see her use it for walking the dog? Probably not!

That would be the sale of the century.

(that joke will mean nothing to anyone younger than about 40)


And if I had a spare £9K, I'd race you there ;)

I know it should be silver grey as an FE but it sure looks beigy on my laptop! (but with grey trim).

Nice and a rare colour, but I am with David on the interior, and £9k is ambitious even for such a low mileage

Ambitious indeed, mine was similar mileage when I bought it 2 years ago (now approaching 90k) and with all the service work on gearbox, belts, etc. etc. and buying new FE wheels & tyres I still paid nothing like that in total.

Though I like the colours in and out.

Goes without saying - it's not black! :)

Architex_mA8tey 2nd June 2015 10:13 AM

i didnt think that the Final Edition model ever came in red? :Confused:
It does look awesome in red though and in very good condition

notorious 2nd June 2015 10:21 AM

OMG! I want one !!!

Yes it did. See here: http://www.tyresmoke.net/forum/topic...final-edition/ as confirmed by our very own Reffro and then IT!

HaHa…I'd have to fill my car with Irn Bru (not a problem..;)), and change my hair colour too (a bit more of a problem..:(). It is rather nice though - red exteriors are very rare...

Someone will pay that - there are buyers out there who will want this rarity/low mileage.

kal_ay 2nd June 2015 12:25 PM

Best colour combo for an FE,i am biased though.

homer simpson 2nd June 2015 06:15 PM

Now that is a very nice example, however I do not think it is £9k's worth

Yep. If car is tip top it'll go for 9k to the first one who will come to look.

... Can't get this car out of my head. Lipstick red. Beauty ...

Phil303 8th June 2015 10:41 PM

That's a lot of money. The colour doesn't suit it (IMO); the car is too large to carry off that amount of retina-scorching paintwork and the rear lights get lost in the bodywork.

Rare yes but a little bit too shouty I feel.

tonupkid 9th June 2015 07:14 PM

I totally love this colour and interior combo. And like others here I can't get this car out of my head. Someone please buy it, quick
